I didn't expect Xie Yuantang to have no intention of explaining at all, and even had the nerve to ask me back.

Jiang Lu looked at Xie Yuantang in disbelief: "I never thought that at such a young age, your values ​​are so twisted!"

"Do you know what Anxianglou is? As an official of the imperial court, he walked in in broad daylight. Did he ever think about the dignity of the imperial court? Shouldn't such a person be despised?"

Xie Yuantang listened to her convincing words and nodded, "Of course."

Jiang Lu smiled triumphantly: "So..."

Before she finished speaking, Xie Yuantang said with a broken heart: "So my father Xie Zhaoqing was caught cheating in the Anxiang Tower in broad daylight, running around the streets naked. It really damages the reputation of the court and should be despised!"

Jiang Lu's face froze. Why did this involve Xie Zhaoqing?

Xie Yuantang continued, "But why is it that Xie Zhaoqing should have been despised, but as soon as the Queen Mother returned to the palace, she not only immediately announced that all his past crimes would not be investigated, but also released his concubine and daughter who wanted to frame my husband?"

Xie Yuantang spread her hands and looked at Jiang Lu innocently: "I am young, why don't you teach me, should I listen to the Queen Mother or you?"

"You turned a blind eye to Xie Zhaoqing, but cursed my uncle in public? Isn't this double standard too obvious?"

"Is it your idea or the Jiang family's idea?"

Jiang Lu was suddenly speechless, and her face looked extremely ugly for a moment.

She just thought that she had finally found an opportunity to teach Leng Yunchao a lesson, but she didn't expect Xie Yuantang to bring up Xie Zhaoqing.

But this example is really irrefutable!

Jiang Lu took a deep breath and said, "Don't talk about other people. I'm talking about Leng Yunchao now. Is it right that he committed adultery in broad daylight?"

Xie Yuantang asked curiously: "Did you see it with your own eyes?"

Jiang Lu: "He has already entered the Anxiang Tower!"

"So you didn't see it with your own eyes."

Xie Yuantang smiled and said, "According to what you said, if I go in and out now, I will be committing adultery in broad daylight! If everyone solves cases like you, there will be many unjust cases in the world!"

Jiang Lu was so angry that her hands were shaking: "Stop being so sharp-tongued. How are you going to prove he's innocent?"

"What do I need to prove?" Xie Yuantang asked in confusion, "Whoever said it should provide evidence. You are the one who wrongly accused my uncle, so you should provide evidence."

Jiang Lu knew that Xie Yuantang was good at talking, but she didn't expect her to be so good.

Then he said angrily: "Okay, I can't argue with you. The Queen Mother is right. Someone like you is not worthy of being the Fifth Prince's consort!"

"What did you say……"

Just as Situ Yan was about to step forward, he was grabbed by Xie Yuantang.

The clever boss Tang turned pale when he heard this and looked at Jiang Lu cautiously: "You...you are not going to tell the Queen Mother about this, are you?"

Seeing her like this, Jiang Lu thought she had her under control, and immediately said proudly: "Why, are you scared now?"

Xie Yuantang took a small step back in panic, pulled Leng Yunchao's sleeve, and said pitifully: "Uncle, let's plead guilty."

Leng Yunchao: “?” Niece has changed her personality?

Xie Yuantang lowered his head and said aggrievedly: "After all, I may not be the prince's consort soon, and the Leng family may also..."

Hearing her words, the spectators around immediately started talking.

It is said that there are no secrets under the imperial city. At the palace banquet the day before yesterday, Empress Dowager Jiang was dissatisfied with Xie Yuantang, the nine-year-old prince's consort, and wanted to marry Minister Lu's daughter to the fifth prince. There were rumors among the people.

I didn't expect to get personal confirmation from Jiang Lu and Xie Yuantang today.

"This can't be possible? The Fifth Prince's life was saved by the Little Princess. Isn't this the royal family destroying the bridge after crossing it?"

"You can't say that. After all, the little princess is only nine years old. It's not in accordance with etiquette."

"Forget it! When they wanted to have a wedding to bring good luck, they didn't even say it was against etiquette! Believe it or not, if the Fifth Prince becomes as crazy and stupid as he was before, the royal family will no longer mind the young imperial concubine's young age!"

"Hush~ Don't say that. Aren't you afraid of having your head chopped off?"

"Go ahead and chop it down. I have asthma every day and living is tiring!"

People around were talking about it, and Jiang Lu finally realized something was wrong.

Xie Yuantang was already in tears, and he pulled Leng Yunchao and said, "Uncle, please admit your mistake to Madam Jiang."

"Madam Jiang said that you slept with someone, then you slept with him. Even if she said that you slept with a pig, you have to admit it."

"If she still wants to marry you, then you can marry her. If not, you can marry her as her son-in-law!"

Leng Yun twitched the corner of his mouth: "..." My little niece is acting again!

Xie Yuantang took his hand and secretly scratched his wrist: "Uncle, hurry up, let's bow and apologize to Madam Jiang."

"cough……"

Leng Yunchao was not very good at acting and stood next to Xie Yuantang awkwardly.

On the other side, Situ Yan had already joined in!

The three of them stood in a row and bowed 90 degrees to Jiang Lu.

Xie Yuantang's clear voice resounded all around: "Madam Jiang, I'm sorry! We won't dare to do it again. Please don't tell the Queen Mother!"

Jiang Lu’s face turned pale!

How could she be qualified to represent the Queen Mother!

And if this gets out, wouldn't it be like the Jiang family and Queen Mother Jiang are bullying others by taking advantage of their power?

"Shut up! Stop talking nonsense!"

Jiang Lu stepped back anxiously: "Who asked you to bow? Don't spit blood at me!"

Situ Yan blinked his peach blossom eyes and asked sincerely: "Is bowing not enough? Should I kneel down?"

As he said this, he raised his hand, brushed the hem of his clothes and was about to kneel down.

"You, you, you...don't kneel!"

Jiang Lu was frightened, fearing that Situ Yan's kneeling would ruin the rest of her life, so she turned around and ran away without thinking!

Situ Yan watched Jiang Lu run away, and said to Xie Yuantang worriedly: "My wife, she is gone, and I don't know if she has forgiven us."

Xie Yuantang sighed, his face sad: "Even if you say it, we were still too slow to kneel just now."

Leng Yunchao: “…” You two are really into your acting!

Liu Piaoxu then knelt slightly to thank Xie Yuantang and Situ Yan, "Thank you, Little Princess and Your Highness, for helping me out. Otherwise, if I had implicated General Leng because of me, I would have felt even worse."

Xie Yuantang waved his hands and said indifferently: "It's nothing."

After saying that, he raised his eyebrows and whispered, "A man bites a dog for a reason, but a dog bites a man for no reason. It has nothing to do with you, Sister Piaoxu."

Liu Piaoxu smiled slightly: "Thank you very much, little imperial concubine. Liu Piaoxu owes you a favor today and will repay you one day."

Leng Yunzhao's face turned red, and he stammered, "Xiao, it's just a small matter, you don't need to repay me."

Xie Yuantang glanced at her uncle, her eyes rolled, and the corners of her mouth curled up.

Liu Piaoxu thanked the three people and watched them leave before turning back to Anxiang Tower.

In a private room on the second floor, a man sat by the window and took in everything that had just happened.

Liu Piaoxu knocked on the door and came in, lowering her head and not daring to look directly at the other party, and said respectfully: "Master, the person has left."

"Ah."

The man hummed in a magnetic voice, then smiled faintly:

"The little girl is quite courageous, but I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to pass the test of the Queen Mother in the palace..."

Liu Piaoxu was slightly stunned, and said hesitantly: "If that's the case, Master, can you help the little imperial concubine? She..."

Before she finished speaking, the man gave her a look and Liu Piaoxu immediately knelt down: "Piaoxu knows her mistake."

The man put down his teacup and said coldly, "This is not your business."
